## From README

Slack Platform Documentation Help the developer find the right page on the official Slack documentation site (https://docs.slack.dev) and read it as clean markdown, so answers come from the live docs rather than memory. The site exposes three machine-readable surfaces an agent can use directly, with no authentication and no Slack workspace: A search API method: GET https://docs.slack.dev/api/v1/search?query= &category= returns ranked page hits as JSON. Scope every search with a category (guides, reference, a specific SDK, etc.); an uncategorized search skews heavily toward SDK pages. Per-page markdown: every page is available at its URL + .md (e.g. /quickstart.md). Index files: /llms.txt (a curated overview) and /llms-sitemap.md (a list of every markdown page). If $0 is provided, it is either a docs.slack.dev URL (jump to the Fast Path) or a topic to search (start at Step 1).
